A First Class Train Trip

Trip to Italy - Journal Entry #17a - September 26, 2009 - 7:00 am

I konked out last night. We had had our usual two bottles of wine with dinner and we had to get up very early (5:00 am) to get the water taxi (at right) to the train station. We are now seated in our 1st class coach and are about to depart the Venice train station (pictured below).

This is our first 1st class train trip. We want to try it out and compare. The seats are slightly wider and there is more leg room, but
really the 2nd class seats are quite comfortable too. The differences seem to be rather minor. But I do like these high speed trains. They move very smoothly and it's a great way to travel throughout Europe.
